ConTeXt support for Nova text editor (MacOS)
Hello, list! I'm working on a ConTeXt language extension for the Nova editor by Panic software (https://nova.app/). The extension is here: https://github.com/pmazaitis/nova-context/releases/tag/0.6.0 ...currently in beta, but fairly functional. This version of the extension supports: * Syntax Highlighting * Folding for (most) environments * Navigating by Symbols (headings: chapter, section, etc.) * Spell-checking of body text and section titles * Managing builds with Nova's tasks system (As an aside, this extension uses an updated version of the ConTeXt tree-sitter parser [https://github.com/pmazaitis/tree-sitter-context] that can now recognize (most) environments and use them to parse out the document hierarchy.) Limitations at the moment: not all environments are supported (only those with \start and \stop commands right now), and the extension only supports English. Happy for any bug reports, etc., -Paul

Last time I checked tree-sitter on neovim, there were no good tree-sitters for context. I'd be interested in testing this out. Does the parser detect nested metapost and luatex environments? Aditya

Happy to have feedback!

The parser recognizes chunks of metapost and latex code and marks them in the syntax tree, but does nothing else: I figured the best approach here was to let applications call out to various tree-sitter parsers as needed. I don't know of a tree-sitter parser for either metapost or latex. The next one I am going to try to build a parser for is metapost (following the reference material in the back of the manual) but I haven't sat down to that task yet. (Plus, that one's going to need a _lot_ of testing by people other than I; I only use metapost for very simple things, and my understanding is surface level at best.)
